Yes they make mistakes and yes some of their rules are a bit "out there" but at the end of the day they provide many many people with an opportunity to either run a business or earn extra income. On the whole what eBay are trying to achieve with this, is a good thing. I believe that if you use eBay then you should support eBay.

Does ebay really think, after it has belittled and mucked around sellers like me (noise apparently), that i would spend any longer than, ooh i dunno, zero seconds, helping them? sorry, but no way! …….as a part time “mom and pop” seller on ebay, i laughed out loud when i got the email from them.

You can tell them about this law or that law and they will not listen, if you were a law official/trading standards they would do. You can point out laws till your blue in the face, i did so with microsoft and the sale of goods under EU law and they wouldnt listen. Ebay broke the law by stopping me selling these items, their are also quite a few other instances where they do so and those are plain to see. Ebay are a huge company, they dont listen to individuals. The video recordings act would cover a lot more than ebay would ever care to remove, all the bootleg DVD / concert videos make ebay some nice profits, we wouldnt want to stop that now would we...

It was not just my say so, it was clearly stated on the BBFC website that these discs had never been certified for sale or hire. This means that it is a criminal offence to do so in the UK. As I have stated "If eBay are not aware of, or choose not adhere to the Video Recordings Act 1984 then they should not allow DVD sales on their website." Bigpoppa read my post properly.

I suppose this is because you know better than anyone, how dare eBay not act on your say so. You should complain to someone, I get the feeling that you might be quite good at it. If nothing else, I think we have all learnt that eBay should NEVER act on the say so of one person, especially where the potential to ruin someones business is at stake.

Instead they tried to hide behind the fact the the seller claimed that the material is in the public domain. This was irrelevant and eBay must have been aware of this. The simple fact of the matter is that they were notified of illegal material being sold on the site and evidence to prove this was supplied but they made the decision to allow criminal activity to continue on their website.

I said that eBay shouldn't act solely upon "your" say so. They acted, correctly in response to Trading Standards. Besides you have no idea what action eBay have or have not taken. Simply because you cannot see any effect, doesn't mean that noting is being done. You have contradicted yourself. I said that eBay shouldn’t act solely upon “your” say so.

They have a responsibility to use due diligence to make sure that illegal items are not sold on their website. In this case they did not show this. This is why trading standards forced them to remove the DVDs. This case highlights eBays disregard for the law, they are happy to allow illegal goods to be sold as long as they think that they can get away with it.
